There's no way the Rams are going to go into Indy and beat the Luck-led Colts by 30. There's just no way.

I know it's a long shot, but there are no impossibilities in today's NFL. Among Super Bowl winners, 6 of the last 8, and the past 3 in a row, all had to start the playoffs in wildcard weekend. Stranger things happen. As you said yourself......any given Sunday.

Re: Playoff Picture from the NFL Network???

Are you claiming the Indy game is NOT reality? I'm pretty sure if we check the official records of the NFL they will agree that the Rams beat the Colts, in Indy, 38-3.

No, the true reality is, as the Indy game shows, that anything can happen in the NFL. Do I believe the Rams will win the SB this year? No, I do not. But it would be incorrect to say there's no chance of it happening.

Did the Greatest Show in '99 not teach us anything, GreatestShow99?

Flip...correct..
Hard for the Rams to be on any radar screen except Ram fans. We have done nothing in recent years to warrant any "respect"

Re: Playoff Picture from the NFL Network???

The question: What kind of Rams fan takes pleasure in the team's failings?

I take pleasure from team successes = 99' succeeded.

no one is taking pleasure in a team failing. If I feel like making a joke, I'll make one. It doesn't change or help or hurt anything on/in the Rams future happenings.
The Rams don't succeed or fail because you stayed loyal or said shiny ,happy things about them. They succeed because the front office and the team did things that made it happen and the ball bounced the right direction a few times in their favor. We are just spectators amusing ourselves with their actions. I do it in a different way than you. That's all there is to it.

Either that, or you're a fair-weather fan who likes to antagonize others by making jokes at the current teams' expense.

I just explained all that in my last post. Theres no such thing as fair weather fan in the real world because who you root for isn't a real or important issue in life. And if you are antagonized its because you choose to be. Again, I make jokes because I feel like it and am willing to see the humor in anything. The team isn't affected by anything I say and neither should you be.
pffft at fair weather fan...I'm a real sports fan in general. I know about many teams and why they are good or bad and can have any opinion I want about them. I don't need to be obligated to feel bad about a team losing and waste time watching them while they aren't good. Sports is entertainment, not an emotional obligation for intelligent adults. I am a loyal Rams fan but it doesn't mean I have to dumb myself down for the myopic masses.
